Fabricland had tons of stuff but nothing that would work. The fabrics were very upholstery like and not suited for a child's room. They did have some specifically geared towards kids but those were only 84". @mlweaving_Marji, what you said makes perfect sense. Although I will have to come up with a new plan as I won't be able to sew anything together. Even if I attempted it, I don't the time. We go from 6:30am until 10:30pm every week day, and have one day's worth of free time on the weekend which is used for grocery shopping, cleaning, etc. I could look into a seamstress but I wouldn't expect it to be cheap here. 2 years ago I got straps shortened on a top (nothing fancy or difficult about it) and it cost $25. The top was only $50. Ha ha. Hemming pants costs $20. We installed the rod yesterday and hung the panels and they definitely need more width. Even if they are directly over the window/frame, light creeps through the sides. And it looks like it needs more width. The silk ones are really nice though and nice quality. Unfortunately, Pottery Barn screwed up and one panel, even though it says 96" is 84". Sigh. So no matter what, something has to go back which is going to involve extra shipping costs, etc. Since I have to go through that gong show, I could see if I can scrounge up enough to purchase more panels of what I already have, but if I can't put them up without being sewn together, that doesn't help me much either. WHY do they make panels so narrow? They are designing 2 panels to fit a 36" window? Our windows aren't even overly large for the room and they are wider than that. If they made them wider, they would still work on narrow windows but also work on wider windows. This post was edited by silvercanadian on Mon, Nov 11, 13 at 12:18

the cabinets have plywood backs yes. Blocking may not be needed but it will make it easier and not all of my cabinets land on a stud so blocking is necessary. I wouldn't remove it becuase I just installed it. lol In my area, at least, you do not need nail plates when the wiring is centered in the stuff.

Agreed with the previous comment: You likely need to sand the entire thing, using a consistent final grit everywhere, and begin again when temperatures are above 50 (ideally even warmer than that). It's possible to match stains, but if your stain is coming off of the entire piece, I think you're better off starting over. You didn't mention what type/brand of stain or solvent(s) you used. I'd guess you used either a gel stain or a wiping stain if it's still coming off. If that's the case, next time you stain, wipe off all excess with a clean rag before the stain dries. (Stains and types of stains are very different - then add in different types/hardness of wood and results vary a lot.) In the meantime, if you absolutely cannot wait for warmer weather and do not have warm space to do this, I'd suggest cutting a piece of plywood (sacrificial) and covering it with contact paper. Alternatively, get a cheap piece of prefab formica. Good luck!
